Mark Zuckerberg personally rejected Meta’s proposals to improve teen mental health, court documents allege::Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has personally and repeatedly thwarted initiatives meant to improve the well-being of teens on Facebook and Instagram, at times directly overruling some of his most senior lieutenants, according to internal communications made public as part of an ongoing lawsuit against the company.
So basically, he wants kids to be mentally unstable so they keep coming back.

Its not any different than a slot machine. But no gambling allowed for under-aged folks. Only a social “tool” weaponizing peer pressure and all the worst parts of Western individualiam/alienation is good enough for our children
The site was always built on “The Skinner Box” model, where you get those sweet sweet dopamine hits. Even back in 2010-2011 it was like that, my girlfriend was literally addicted to checking Facebook. She couldn’t go more than about 5-10 minutes without checking her wall/feed.
I had an account back when I started to open up in 2005-2006 and it’s a completely different beast now. At least back then it was about social interaction with people at your university and not a virtual drug machine.
This dude started with an online ‘Hot or Ugly’ site at his college. Online toxicity is his bread and butter; always has been; always will be.
Ditched all Meta services years ago. My life instantly improved.
Never looked back.
Seriously, fuck this guy.
I haven’t shared anything on Facebook in over 5 years, but I definitely shared this.
And no one saw it because your contacts had their feed filled with sponsored ragebait content
Think about this anytime this asshole appears on Lex Fridman trying to launder his image.
I wonder if any of these billionaires secretly harbours the desire to subjugate humanity.
After I defacebooked my phone years ago, the desktop site wanted my phone number to affirm my identity. Noped out right then and there. Haven’t missed FB in the slightest.
What a disgusting pos
Sad when you think about the fact that he himself has a daughter probably around 9 years old now.
Who is really supprised? He is an asshole and we’ve known yhis forever. If it weren’t for friends and family I would have left Facebook years ago. Unfortunately it’s a really good wsy to stay in touch with people and that’s the only reason I still ut it…
I only signed into Facebook again for the first time in years. I moved to a new city and couldn’t find any singles groups/social groups on MeetUp or the like. The one I found is on both Instagram and Facebook so I was forced back into the cesspool. My feed on Facebook is filled with “sponsored posts” and “people I might like”, GTFO of here with that bullshit. It was bad before, but I honestly don’t see how people in “first world nations” that don’t need it for commerce and general communication still use it.
It’s become so much worse… I really hate it. Funny thing. It actually tried to make me watch republican bs. It showed me some really extreme far right shit and I was like… OK where do you think I am politically…? It sucks because people that are not aware might actually fall for that crap.
I think we really gotta stop lying to ourselves when we say “it’s a good way to stay in touch with people”. It’s a way to stay in touch, but most of the shit you see on Facebook these days have little to nothing to do with the people you actually care about.
There are much better ways to stay in touch with others. For example, friend or family discord communities is a far superior way when compared to any Meta platform.

I get your point but this one I’ve got to disagree on. You need to get your friends and family to use that, and that’s not going to happen lol
Not with that attitude.
Remember when you had to get your friends and family to use Facebook? I do. Most (may be all) social media platforms are opt in. People are not born with a Facebook account.
This is not a reason, but rather a means to absolve yourself from engaging with a platform you know is toxic.
My brother has ASD. He has decided Facebook is how he wants to communicate. I don’t want to lose what little connection I have with my brother.
When someone has ASD and is set on something, getting them to change is not a matter of your attitude.
Teen mental health does not earn him money. People who are glued to Facebook like crazy do.
he only gives a fuck about profits. improving teenagers well-being is against his rules as this only wastes his money. it’s capitalism mates.
He doesn’t want to just go down alone. He must’ve been there himself (and probably still there), otherwise he would have some sympathy for others, especially kids. Fuck this dude!
I also thought they had figured out that anger and discord in FB brought people back more than pictures of kids, families, and community goodwill. This is the drug they push, hate their neighbors, and cling on to anger and hate, they come back for that.
